Other World

I lay in the stillness
In the darkness of the night
The surrounding blackness
Engulfing me inside
It’s velvety comfort
Launching dreams
Of candied clouds
Of silk grasses
Of diamond walkways
Of glittering ponds
Until the harsh cry of reality
And intrusive rays of dawn’s sunlight
Awaken me from my other world
And carry me into another day.

rosepetals25...
               This is one terrific poem! I hate to wake up from those great dreams, too!
I really enjoyed reading this...good work!


Today is a gift....
That is why they call it
'the Present'!

Very nice. I would rather dream all day, than wake up from the happier place. Too bad it won't work that way.  Enjoy this thought much.

Words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think.
